Default I am disgruntled and bored with life.

I have been bored with life for a year now ever since I left my step dads and stopped playing videogames for 6+ hours a day and moved in with my controlling and unhappy grandparents. All I do is go to school, come home, do homework, watch TV, get on PC, and go outside.

This is extremely boring because I eat the same food everyday. It adds to the boredom a whole bunch and there’s nothing I can do about it I am no chef.

On my 17th birthday I didn’t really care because it’s no big deal when you don’t have any friends or a girlfriend and eat out with your ****ing "mein kampf" grandparents.

I hope this explains some of my strange posts on here. I tried everything from making friends to occupying myself with physical activities to getting a job. Nothing is working. I hate being at home and I hate being at school.

I mean don’t think I’m going to kill myself all I am saying is my life is a urine drop. Any suggestions?

Hi there. like other people I am familiar with, you seem to like to write.
I have been in the same situation as you are. Before you think all is lost for a good future for yourself, why not try this;
Take all of the people you know and have met and use your memory of them all to create short stories.
In words you can transform any person into anything you want as you construct fiction from non-fiction. This chews up time and takes you on a journey to wherever your mind wants to go. you also don't need to be at the pc all day, you can go to a quiet place and make notes, be inspired by the environment, study life as it meets your eyes and ears.
Maybe if you absorb yourself into the ritual of writing regularly, you'll forget how bored you once were. You also get to have fun playing around with the characteristics of the people you know without hurting them. You know, like your Mum's boyfriend, your grandparents. (Hey, talk more to them about their early years.)
If this light idea doesn't work for you, I hope then that someone else will show up with good help for you. stay posted. Go be you! By the way, I am a chef, whats in the fridge?

It's tough since you aren't an adult yet, but why not ask your grandparents to get healthier groceries? I'd be interested to know how your diet is. Keep up the physical activity, too.

I'd like to suggest setting some sort of challenge for yourself.
I was in much of the same situation until I got into Parkour and now I'm a lot happier with everything.
Take a look around and see what you can do, set some goals, maybe a martial art?

I wish for you friendships and a social life. Check out a local church youth group or club. You will have to be brave. Try to find one friend at school to do stuff with. You need a peer group your age.

I pray that in the coming week you will hear of or see or be asked to something and that you are now desparate enough for a change that you say "yes".

Changing your life takes RISK.

Don't let your negative grandparents become toxic. Use your time for healthy research or even take up a different hobby. Can you not visit your step dadnow and then? Maybe you miss him. Call someone, an old friend or family member, it might help.

Default Hi

Find some new people to hang out with. At this age, there are so many things you can do with your life, especially socializing. Join a club, hang out at the mall, attend parties, just do something new.

As my mother would say, "Bitch, bitch, bitch, BITCH."

D, when all else fails, try something else. Learn to cook. I'm self-taught.

There's no excuse for being miserable. I am four years older than you. I was an abused child. My arms are covered in cigarette burn scars. I've had a gun in my throat. Ever notice what I primarily talk about? The good things. Yeah, my father is an awful human being. In spite of that, my mom and brothers are cool. I have a beautiful fiance and a nice job. I'm not my past.

STOP BITCHING. START DOING STUFF TO FIX IT. I know you did stuff, but that didn't work. TRY SOMETHING ELSE. Don't like what you're eating? Google recipes. Want to make friends? Ask ten people a day at school if they want to hang out. Someone's bound to **** up and say yes!
